PEKIN — Police are seeking a third man who is now charged with invading a home and robbing its residents at gunpoint in December.

A warrant was issued Tuesday to arrest Jakob Congdon, 20, of Dunlap on charges of armed home invasion and armed robbery in the case that has two co-defendants in custody.

One of those other defendants, Zackery Stumbaugh, identified Congdon as a partner in the crime when police questioned him again in late February, according to the charges against Congdon filed this week in Tazewell County Circuit Court.

A fourth man, who allegedly drove the others to the Fischer Trailer Park but did not take direct part in the home invasion and robbery, has not yet been charged.

The robbers were out for money and drugs they believed they’d find in the home, according to a prosecutor’s court affidavit.

The crime, committed shortly after midnight Dec. 31, was foiled because one of the three victims inside the trailer home in effect pulled out a cellphone faster than one of the robbers drew his handgun.

Alerted by a 911 call reporting the crime just as it began, officers rushed to 701 Fischer Road, Lot 251, where one of the three people inside yelled, “They’re robbing us, they’re robbing us! They ran out the back door,” according to the affidavit.

Two men, now identified as Congdon and Stumbaugh, 23, of Mount Vernon had burst through the trailer’s unlocked door as Daniel Johnson, 22, of Peoria stood outside, according to the affidavit.

Officers saw Stumbaugh run from the trailer and try to hide under a pickup that was parked next to a car with two men inside. They handcuffed him after a struggle and found a small bag of marijuana as well as a cellphone and wallet — all taken from the home, the affidavit stated.

The car containing Johnson and the fourth man drove off but was stopped a short distance away. Johnson was arrested while the other man, who said he had no idea the others were planning a robbery, was released from custody.

Congdon, meanwhile, disappeared, along with the handgun he wielded in the trailer, according to the affidavit.

Johnson is next scheduled to appear in court Friday and Stumbaugh on May 12. Both have remained in custody on the Class X charges since their arrests.
